HOW TO STAY YOUNG
1.. Try everything twice.
On one woman's tombstone she said she wanted this epitaph:
" Tried everything twice. Loved it both times " !
2. Keep only cheerful friends.
The grouches pull you down.
( Keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches ! )
3. Keep learning: Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever... Never let the brain get idle.
' An idle mind is the devil's workshop.'
And the devil's name is Alzheimer's !
4. Enjoy the simple things.
5. Laugh often, long and loud.
Laugh until you gasp for breath.
And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with HIM / HER.
6.. The tears happen: Endure, grieve, and move on.
The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves.
LIVE while you are alive.
7. Surround yourself with what you love: whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.
. Your home is your refuge.
8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
9. Don't take guilt trips..
Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.
10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
I love you, my special friend !
11. Forgive now those who made you cry.
You might not get a second chance..
And if you don't send this to at least 4 people - who cares ? But do share this with someone.
Remember ! Lost time can never be found.
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
Wine does not make you FAT .... it makes you LEAN ....
( Against tables, chairs, floors, walls and ugly people .)
Love Ya, ~Barbara

Thanks Barb. However I do not agree with #3. My mom had Alzheimer's when she passed. She was a teacher, avid reader, gardener, and did her crossword puzzles daily.

I like #8 and 9. Both good advice. I took a trip to the beach today, just because I could.

" Name A Term Used In Football " ?

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
